Message from FSF France, for urgent distribution: Because pressure from music and film industry, the french gouvernement wants to forbid free software before christmas. Music industry is ready "to sue free software authors who will continue to release their source code", saying that "if they do not give up, they are going to be forced into changing the licence". |

Globulation 2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management. Globulation 2 also [[AI|features AI]], allowing single-player games or any possible combination of human-computer teams. The game also includes a [[Map_editor_guide|scripting language]] for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated [[Map_editor_guide|map editor]]. You can play Globulation 2 in single player mode, through your local network, or over the Internet with [[YOG|Ysagoon Online Gaming]] (or ''YOG'' for short). -- [[Team|Globulation 2 team]] |

I have already used [http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/ pywikipediabot] to move hundred of pages from [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikisolutionswikibooks wikisolutions] to the [http://en.howto.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page howto]. I have had to modify a bit the original script however (i still have the modified version). There is a page about [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_bot interwiki ] and one about bots [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bot in general]. The point is that i can easily push many pages into mediawiki if they are in a single file with separators. Also some find/replace could solve problems related to the syntax. The main problem is how to extract the pages from the old wiki. I don't know if this is better than manual migration in this case because the wiki syntax is diferent. |

Globulation 2 is an innovative high-quality RTS game. It reduces micro-manegement by having the gamer control buildings, rather than units, and the buildings automatically assigns the units tasks in order to best meet the gamers demands. It reduces complexity by having only 3 unit types, each one with defined purposes, skills and experience levels. Come have a chat, join [[IRC]]. |
